San Bernardino All-Stars again

Here in the suburbs, being on the All-Star team is a big deal, regardless of what level of play you might find yourself.

As such, a number of us have started using the term in a less than complimentary way.

For example, if you are talking about an incident where someone screwed up royally, the expression might be "Yeah, he All-Starred on that one."

Matter of fact, the three conditions of being totally screwed up might have just gotten a lesser derivation. Those four conditions could now be

All-Star
SNAFU
FUBAR
TARFU

Anyway, we go to this article, where we learn that the San Bernardino County School District is going to incorporate Ebonics into the curriculum.

(Waits for sounds of laughter to die down.)

No, really. The lead paragraph says:

Incorporating Ebonics into a new school policy that targets black students, the lowest-achieving group in the San Bernardino City Unified School District, may provide students a more well-rounded curriculum, said a local sociologist.

They claim that

"Ebonics is a different language, it's not slang as many believe,' Texeira said. "For many of these students Ebonics is their language, and it should be considered a foreign language. These students should be taught like other students who speak a foreign language.'

Oh, Jeez! Laughing like that hurts.

But then again, maybe dem ho's should stop spendin so much time on dey weaves, and put up dem damn cellphones, and concentrate on dey maff and englitch homework. Maybe dem playas should quit hangin out on de corner and not worry so much about de's rappin, and then maybe they wouldn't:

go to college the least and have the most dropouts and suspensions.

Why not just do well in English, Math, History, Science, and Social Studies? Never mind. I just remembered that I am talking about California.

I stand corrected. This isn't an All-Star move, this is TARFU.
